The Ides of March was a day in the Roman calendar that corresponds to March 15th. It was marked by several religious observances and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts. In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history. So why is today considered unlucky? The Ides of March was certainly unlucky for Caesar. Since that time the idea stuck that the Ides of March is unlucky or a portent of doom—even if your name isn’t Caesar. Some people interpret the settling of debts with a broader meaning to include righting of wrongs.
